However I would be in danger of being seriously considered a retard if
I continued this dialogue with you any further.

He is often (as here) a troll. Please don't continue.

Getting a rise out of people by provoking them is his only goal. It's a
pathetic pastime if you ask me.

You are so retarded that you cannot see that I am correct and the

asswipe that puts pliers across his battery is more retarded even than
you two? Get a clue, dipshits.

Trus me when it's minus forty it takes more than a few seconds to cook a
starter.........but thank you for your concern

Look, you top posting Usenet RETARD!

Within a few hundred milliseconds of applying current, the wires
involved in your scenario would not be caring ANYTHING at all about
the outside temperature.

But thanks for trying to squirm away from reality.

It is a well established FACT that non rotating starter motors under
power can catastrophically fry rather quickly.

Put THAT in your keyhole and crank it, you top posting dipshit.

Just as I thought, you have never actually tried it,

Yes... YOU THOUGHT... The problem is, your brain isn't worth a
s**t. It is an established FACT, you stupid fucktard. Commutator bar
motors can fry windings when they are not turning, yet are under
power. Do you deny this FACT?

Simplistically the answer is Yes and No.
Obviously it depends onthe circumstances. Here, the whole point was
that the duration would be limited. Also the situation was where the
battery was so stuffed it could not even turn the starter. How would
you assume an explosive energy to come from an effectively temporarily
dead battery?

Yet one more piece of s**t remark from the brainless twit. Here's a

have expertise in.

True, I only know your limitations in those subjects in which you
display your level of expertise. I am sure you are expert in other
fields ..... but certainly not in manners, and somewhat limited on
the present subject.

You also have probelms keeping your posts just to appropriate news
groups. SPAM is what is is.

I rarely cross post this widely, but for this thread there was not a single
newsgroup that best covered UPS. Which specific newsgroups do you think
this subject didn't belong in, and why?

sci.engr.electrical.sys-protection is the most obvious one as the
question seems not to be a question related to power line system
protection.

Peter Dettmann

What a wuss. Get over it, boy.

I can handle it, but point out the ongoing bad manners. Your comments
seem not to be relevant nor assist in the matter.

Peter Dettmann

Again... GET OVER IT, you STUPID FUCKTARD!

Your continued bad manners and lack of assistance speak for
themselves. Do not presume to consider yourself authorative.

Absolutely not, I have not set to be an expert on net stuff and have
only alluded to the obvious lack of manners you display. You cannot
seriously expect one to have regard for your net acumen when you act
as you do. On the other hand I have not even mentioned the obvious
lack of technical prowess you have shown about the actual subject of
the UPS question.
However I would be in danger of being seriously considered a retard if
I continued this dialogue with you any further.

Shorting them actually uses up what charge is available and
doesn't
warm the battery enough to make it crank harder.

It is total myth.

Untrue. Take a look at some capacity vs temp curves. Warming a
fully-charged cold battery can increase the available capacity,
releasing more than the energy used to warm it.

Wrong. Read what he wrote: "doesn't warm the battery enough". That
is true. Long before you get the battery warmer, you make it
deader!

Besides, shorting a battery to warm it is about the stupidest thing
I've ever heard of for other reasons, not the least of which is the
potential for an explosion that will make you really really really
ugly.

If it works, don't knock it. The attitude, "If I can't explain it, I
can't believe it" is more than a bit silly, don't you think?

I agree, and I'm not going to comment on whether it works or not.

That said, I would NEVER do such a thing. It's dangerous for numerous
reasons (big sparks under a hood are never good, grease can burn quite
easily).

I hope you would have found a better example...

In my personal experience? No. I have on the other hand HAD a fire under
the hood due to the grease/residue on the engine catching. Fortunately
there wasn't much and it burned itself out very quickly, but had there
been more it would have been a very bad day for me.

It doesn't matter if my example isn't "good enough", big sparks under the
hood of a car are NEVER a good idea. The possibility of a small gasoline
leak would be reason enough to never attempt such a thing.

Heck, consider that by doing this the pair of pliers weld themselves onto
the connections, a car battery pumping hundreds if not thousands of amps
through a pair of pliers uncontrolled would cause me to run.

And with that much current available, I would expect a car to start
before its driver resorts to the desperation tactics under debate here!

- Don Klipstein (don@misty.com)

Not true, on bigger or higher compression engines it doesn't take the
battery to be that low on capacity to result in a no start. This is
especially true since car manufacturers have REALLY been skimping on CCA
ratings these days.

Even a battery at only 20% charge is scary when short circuited. I don't
think the general public realizes how bad things can get with batteries if
you don't treat them right.

Obviously not, when many of the "engineers" in this group do not even
have a grasp on lead acid battery do's and don't's. I knew this crap
when I was a kid way back in the Sixties.
